March 2009 Newsletter - Oh My!!

03-06-2009, 05:27 PM

Just last night I was telling my buddy that I was not planning on ordering much, if any, more cars for this year. We discussed Nincos and that while I loved my 3 Lightnings, that I probably wouldn't order more of them unless other people did so I could run against them.

Then I saw the March 2009 Newsletter. 2 more Nincos on the way! :-)

It's about time that someone did a Lotus Elise/Exige. A concern with a 1/32 Exige is getting it small enough in scale and not making it fit an already overscale 1/32 chassis - thus making it the same size as a 911 or 360. The newsletter specifically calls out its small size and the new Ninco Sport series emphasis on scale.

Then there is the '53 Corvette. Wow! I already have the Porsche 550 Spyder Panamerica and really like it. So I can't wait for a stable mate for it. It runs with the Scaley 300 SLR, though differently, but can't run with the Carrera Jaguar. My friend said that he wanted to see a picture of the slot car, not the prototype, before he ordered. I don't, and I didn't, it is ordered. I know how great my 550 looks, and how great the other Ninco vintage cars look. I trust Ninco in these matters implicitly.

When Ninco announced their cars for this past year, there wasn't much that impressed me. I ended up buying more Ninco than ever. This year's list looks so strong, and the pictures from the toy fair looked so good, that I'll be buying a lot of Ninco this year. I'm not really interested in the rally stuff (even though WRC is incredible), but the rest of the line-up is too good to pass up.

The one I am looking forward to is the Murciealago in 1:1 it had a width of 2057.4mm or in 1/32 64.29 mm its reasonably long and not over tall to. Seeing that it raced in JGTC class this may well be the car to rival the Supras and NSX cars.
